Representative of Tea Party attendees blog remarks:

'There’s nothing partisan about being patriotic, you Fresno Bee twit! Obama is an admitted anti-American, anti-Liberty, anti-capitalism Marxist! Look it up!'

Central Valley population is apx 6.5 million people

These pictures are of the Tulare Tea Party from a Tea Party sponsor  website.

They certainly are not representative of 15,000 people. Remember folks. The BC stadium only seats 20 thousand or so.
Rabo Bank arena is a maximum capacity of 10,000 for Hockey.  8700 for Arena football.

Maybe 10,000 or so are waiting in line at the Porta Potty’s.

Bravo,

You do understand that Ventura County alone has a population of 800,000 people. And that it is only a few miles north of the Largest populated metro area in North America.

3500 people! There will be 30 times that many people at M. Jackson’s funeral. That’s on a weekday. Not a holiday weekend. It’s on a Tuesday. Not Forth of July.

Thousands gather to protest taxes in Ventura County

Freedom Fest: The World's Largest Gathering of Free Minds

The 'tea party' crowd are a bunch of Johnny come-lately's anyhow. Some Glenn Beck creation to stifle actual protest and debate of the parasitic bureaucracy. It's probably best they don't get publicity for waiting until acceptable hours to make a substantial attempt to voice public concern and disapproval of the corruption and criminal acts of government at all levels. Following orders doesn't sound much like civil disobedience to me.

Sooner,

You are absolutely correct. People are mad as heck that Obama hasn't repealed the Bush Tax cuts for the rich.

America is at war. We are in a fight against a great depression.

It's time Americans sacrifice.

It was insane to institute those tax cuts for the wealthy.

So it is time to suffer their consequence.

What I find is amusing. Is the dentist that marches today against tax increases. Then marches against a reduction in his Government payments.

Or the Ambulance operator who marches today. then fights for greater Government payouts. (hey isn't that happening right here at home?)

These people who march today are obscenely hypercritical.

It's because they think government operates it's finances as if it were a church.

 It's budgets  formed by donations.

And a miracle or two that sends bundles of cash to their doorstep. The one kind of earmark they adore.

Participation numbers at the tea bag pary truly does not represent the level of frustration people are experiencing.  Every political conversations I hear (and I don't always start one knowing that they can drag out sometimes) are around the stimulus and the number of government programs Obama is initiating on borrowed tax money.  If you think we're heading in the right direction, your kids (and their kids) will hate you for your vote.

Crude,
I looked at your link before it mysteriously disappeared. Looked like there may have been a 1000 people or so there. At most.
You do understand that the Las Vegas population is almost 2 million people.

These marches died worse today. Than they did the first time around.

 

Looks like a pretty good turnout in Las Vegas. 

Bakersfield Bubblehead.  Wait and see. The liberal media is too busy with M. Jackson coverage. They would not cover the Tea Parties regardless.

From New York City this week, *NOT* from April.  If they're still at it, it can't have gone flat.   It good to see so many others that are worried about the terrible turn this country has taken in the last several months.  It provides hope.
